Solar installers and suppliers

[wingnut771]

People with solar geysers probably don’t have enough load to maximize solar production during the day so your batteries will be fully charged at 10am and then it just matches the load so your ROI will be very long if you don’t have Aircon’s and whatnot to power on during the day when your 6kW array throttles down to 500W to match the load.

Once your systems is commissioned, the city then passes on your application to the electical installations department who will then schedule the installation of your new split meter.

They should get in contact with you. Send a mail to the address in the ltter after a week to follow up. Will likely get the below response.

The meter is free. It is only the AMI (for feeding back) that you have to pay for. Elex Khanyise will likely be the company installing the meter.
